Durness Beach

This beach is located on the campsite and is not far from Smoo Cave. Baden is probably something for toughened. Water temperature was 15 ° C in August.

View of Sango Sands Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Barefoot on the beach, white sand between your toes... even in the very north of Scotland it's possible. Sango Sands is one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the Highlands.

View of Ceannabeinne Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Golden sands and turquoise sea - what’s not to like. It’s not so easy to get down to this beach with a loaded touring bike but this is a great place to stop and take in the view.
